If LPG-powered forklift trucks are important to your day-to-day operation, maintaining a dependable cylinder supply matters. Jefferson Calor Gas supplies 12kg and 18kg Calor propane forklift gas in Portsmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth and the wider areas, available to commercial customers across our established delivery areas and supported by our depots in Shoreham-by-Sea, Petersfield and Ringwood.
Jefferson supplies both dedicated Calor forklift cylinder sizes. The correct option should be based on the requirements of the forklift truck rather than simply choosing the larger cylinder.
The 12kg Calor propane forklift gas bottle is a dedicated FLT propane cylinder. This is suited for smaller forklift trucks and industrial or warehouse vehicles where cylinder space is more restricted.
The 18kg Calor propane forklift gas bottle provides the larger of our two dedicated forklift-cylinder options.
For businesses using several cylinders or operating LPG forklifts regularly, contact Jefferson to discuss your expected cylinder requirements and available supply arrangements rather than relying solely on a one-off product purchase.
For a business, the question is often not simply “How much does one forklift gas bottle cost?” but “How do we maintain the cylinder supply our operation needs?”
With our prompt forklift gas refill delivery you will not need to store as many forklift cylinders on the premises, which decreases the health & safety risk for your business.
We can discuss commercial requirements including:
Businesses already using eligible Calor forklift cylinders in Portsmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth and the wider areas can exchange empties for full cylinders under the applicable Calor cylinder arrangements.
Calor currently places 12kg FLT propane and 18kg FLT propane within its Large Propane cylinder exchange group, alongside 13kg, 19kg and 47kg propane.
If you are moving your forklift LPG supply to Jefferson, tell us what cylinders you currently hold and approximately how many you use. We can then confirm the applicable supply and exchange options.
Running short of forklift LPG can create unnecessary disruption for a warehouse, yard or other commercial operation. Businesses using cylinders regularly should therefore consider their normal usage and replacement requirements before their available supply is exhausted.
When speaking to our team, it is useful to have an idea of your cylinder size, number of LPG forklifts, typical cylinder consumption and delivery location. This gives our team a clearer picture of the supply arrangement you require.
For larger or repeat requirements, contact us directly to discuss commercial supply rather than waiting until your final available automotive gas cylinder is in use.

Forklift LPG is a workplace fuel, so appropriate procedures, training and manufacturer instructions are important when cylinders are handled or changed.
LPG forklift cylinders should, where possible, be changed outside buildings in an adequately ventilated area away from pits, drains, lift shafts and ignition sources. Appropriate PPE should be used.
Businesses should maintain an appropriate safe system of work and ensure operators receive suitable information, instruction and training.
We supply Calor 12kg and 18kg FLT propane bottles available across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and East Dorset which are suitable for automotive LPG forklift-truck applications.
The 12kg is compatible with forklifts and industrial vehicles where cylinder space is restricted. Do not assume that the two cylinders are interchangeable: confirm the requirements of your forklift.
We can supply commercial customers and can discuss requirements for businesses using several cylinders or requiring ongoing supply. Tell us how many LPG forklifts you operate, the cylinder size you currently use, approximate usage and your delivery location so we can establish the available options.
Eligible Calor forklift cylinders can be exchanged under the applicable Calor cylinder rental agreements. Calor currently lists both 12kg and 18kg FLT cylinders within its Large Propane exchange group.
Delivery is available within our local delivery areas. If you need forklift gas bottles delivered in Sussex, Hampshire and parts of Dorset/New Forest, check your address using the delivery checker or contact the relevant team before ordering.
Yes. Collection is available from our depots in Shoreham-by-Sea, Petersfield and Ringwood. For commercial quantities, check cylinder and depot availability before travelling.
Follow the instructions supplied by the forklift and cylinder manufacturer and your workplace's safe operating procedure. Calor's liquid-offtake forklift cylinders have specific horizontal positioning and securing requirements, so they should not be treated like a conventional upright Calor propane gas cylinder.
Whether you need a replacement cylinder, several bottles for an LPG forklift fleet or want to discuss an ongoing commercial supply arrangement, Jefferson can help you establish the available 12kg or 18kg forklift gas in Portsmouth, Brighton, Bournemouth and the neighbouring areas with exchange, delivery and collection options available.
For repeat commercial requirements, tell us which cylinder you currently use, approximately how many cylinders you require and where your business is located. That gives our team the information needed to discuss an appropriate supply arrangement.
